Thrush is an infection of the mouth caused by the Candida fungus, also known as yeast. Candida infection is not limited to the mouth; it can occur in other parts of the body as well, causing diaper rash in infants or vaginal yeast infections in women and people with weakened immune systems.

 

The mouth, digestive tract, and skin of most healthy people contain small amounts of the Candida fungus. Certain illnesses, stress, or medications can disturb the delicate balance, causing the fungus Candida to grow out of control, and cause thrush. Various supplements are useful for individuals who suffer from thrush.
